Measure
Metoclopramide
A one-time dose of promotility agent (2 mL of Metoclopramide 5 MG/ML Injectable Solution in 8 mL saline IV) will be administered at the time of GJ placement. After administration of the pro-motility drug, the GJ placement procedure will be performed using conventional technique. An IR technologist observing the procedure will record the fluoroscopy time, air kerma, and chronological time will be recorded by an IR technologist at the following routine events during GJ tube placement procedures: 1) start of gastric insufflation, 2) needle access to the stomach, 3) wire intubation of the duodenum, 4) wire intubation of the jejunum, 5) and procedure completion. Metoclopramide 5 MG/ML Injectable Solution: A one-time dose of promotility agent (metoclopramide 10 mg in 10 mL saline IV) will be administered at the time of GJ placement.
Saline
A one-time dose of a placebo (10 mL saline IV) will be administered at the time of GJ placement. After administration of the placebo, the GJ placement procedure will be performed using conventional technique. An IR technologist observing the procedure will record the fluoroscopy time, air kerma, and chronological time will be recorded by an IR technologist at the following routine events during GJ tube placement procedures: 1) start of gastric insufflation, 2) needle access to the stomach, 3) wire intubation of the duodenum, 4) wire intubation of the jejunum, 5) and procedure completion. Saline: A one-time dose of a placebo (10 mL saline IV) will be administered at the time of GJ placement.
